Hm, still can't get them to appear, have rechecked installation and I am certain the files are in the right place.

Quick question: can the vidiot map overlays be added to a future update? Also the veteran power to clear the fog of war from the map? If not, okay. Love what you have done and look forward to future updates.

If this is where the files are, have you restarted Paragon Chat?

Did the maps in the tram stations change for you?

Is there actually a space there? There shouldn't be; the default install directory for 1.0+ is AppData\Roaming\ParagonChat. The version with the space was used in old 0.98 and 0.99 series betas.

There should also not be a 'data' directly under ParagonChat. There's a Client subfolder that everything the game client uses comes from.

The best way to make sure you're in the right place is to run Paragon Chat, then on the login screen, click the button with the blue folder. It will open up Explorer directly to whatever location PC is running out of. From there you can simply go into Client, then data.

Codewalker, I thank you yet again for your guidance. The maps are now modified and the exploration badges and plaques show again.  :)

I have had no luck installing VidiotMaps. I've added it to every possible ParagonChat folder I can find. Followed the instructions. Ran it again. I don't see any change in the overlays. My RQZ map doesn't show one badge.

Hit the nail on the head.

I installed Vidiot Maps just now and confirmed this works.  Here's the steps, in case you, the forum reader, want to try this (close Paragon Chat first!):

1. Install Vidiot Maps from Sourceforge (I REALLY hate them after Dice took over and started all sorts of shenanigans, but the Vidiot Maps program isn't popular enough to catch their radar for sales.  I installed it and didn't get any drive-by installs.  If someone else has a mirror, I'm glad to replace this link.)

2. Point the installer towards a temporary folder you make somewhere.  I made a empty folder on my Desktop.  Once the installer finishes, open the folder.  It should show a folder called "Data" and an uninstall app to remove the custom maps.  Highlight them all and copy.

3. Open Windows Explorer/File Explorer and type "%APPDATA%" into the Address.  Find the "ParagonChat" folder  =OR= Open Paragon Chat and click the blue folder icon.

4. Open the "client" folder, which should also have a "Data" folder among others.  Paste the contents there.

Done.

Install into the "Client" folder, correct?

For those unable to get the Vidiotmaps to work, make sure that you are not putting the Data folder containing the texture_library in the Data folder.

The correct path is appdata\roaming\Paragon Chat\data\texture_library
(notice there is only one data folder)

If you mean your login for Paragon Chat, it's <username>@chat.cohtitan.com.

I'm just confused as to what it has to do with vidiotmaps.  ???
